HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical in Portland, OR

When an HVAC professional visits your home for an AC service appointment, they focus on several key areas. These include:

• Major components, such as the condenser coil, evaporator coil, motor, return and supply lines, drain line, and electrical connections. The technicians will also check refrigerant levels to determine whether a recharge is needed or there’s a potential leak.
• Changing the air filter. You don’t necessarily need a professional for this, but a technician can determine whether the current air filter must be cleaned or replaced, or whether it is sufficient for your home. If not, they can recommend a higher rated or different type of filter if needed.
• Thermostat calibration. If your HVAC system isn’t reaching the temperature, the thermostat may need to be tested and calibrated. A technician can verify whether the unit is working or needs to be replaced, or determine if its location near a heat source is causing inaccurate temperature readings.
• Lubricating parts. Air conditioning systems have many moving parts that can wear out due to friction if they’re not properly lubricated; a technician can spot lubrication issues and provide the appropriate service to avoid permanent damage to components your AC needs to function.
• Ductwork inspection. Air that’s carried through the duct system can also be recirculating various types of contaminants. Leaking ducts can significantly reduce efficiency. An annual inspection can spot any issues to fix that can restore clean air and comfort.
• Air conditioner tune-up. By inspecting the many interconnected parts in your AC system, a technician can make minor repairs and adjustments during an AC tune-up. Our HVAC plans include all the services needed to ensure your air conditioning system remains in top shape.

Research whether the contractor is licensed to perform excavating in Oregon. Also, determine whether they are insured against any incidents on your property and offer warranties for the work they complete. The contractor should perform an in-home evaluation to identify the best solution. Get an estimate and ask if there will be additional charges, and if post-work cleanup and building permits are covered. Repeat the process with three or four companies to ensure you get the best deal.

The biggest benefits of AC replacement are more reliable comfort, fewer repairs, and improved efficiency, which helps lower your energy bill while reducing environmental impact.
